Potentially interesting- arc lighter?

[Easy Livin’ 3000]

Been using a nice flameless butane lighter for starting the stove, grill, firepit.

Recently discovered these new(?) Arc lighters that are rechargable.

Curious if anyone has experience and am opinion.

The following link is just one example, there are lots of them out there.

Yes, we use them to light the propane stove in our kitchen, and it works great for that. I tried to light newspaper in our wood stove, but it did not work so well for that purpose.

Just wanted to see if there were any updates. What is everyone using to start their fires?

The best fire lighter I found is a small camp size propane bottle. At walmart, sporting / camping they have click to light touch for the propane bottle.

I use a small propane torch. Boiler, campfire, charcoal. Works great

I use a turbo torch, self ignite with mapp gas to start the cardboard to get the wood in the Garn going.

The arc lighters work well on candles.

For fires I use a MAPP torch.

This time of year . . . not much. Just toss some kindling or maybe some crumped up newspaper on to the hot coals and let 'er rip. If I do make a fire I go old school and use strike-on-the-box matches.
